Out of all the pursuits this one feels like it should belong an actual fighting game. And the fact that this is used mostly on a prosecutor who walks around with a whip more than proves that.
Fun fact, Franziska was actually planned for Tatsunoko vs Capcom but was cut because the "objection" attacks were causing issues with the engine that couldn't be ironed out in time
I love Cornered as much as the next guy but I think this one is just as good, probably better. This one fits so well and gets great use compared to Cornered. It also fits with the characters. Like I love Phoenix and Franziska trading punches behind this theme. I feel the same way with Edgeworth and Phoenix too.
